Yet again, you have read my mind! I came across a book on Amazon about her awhile back, bookmarked it for another day... your post has urged me to order it! Remember what I said about the cumulative effect of book weight killing me if and when I ever move??? I blame you for some of it!!!!!

PGT, I love your blogs so much. I learn about so many remarkable people that I'd never otherwise encounter. This was so interesting. Thank you for sharing it and all the other wonderful things that catch your discerning eye!

tht- I was really thrilled to discover the Jeu de Paume site and the exhibition. I have a tumblr account now and had put some on there-then I felt compelled to do the same here. The video is great.I appreciate that you value what I do, I value your patronage here. pgt

David,exactly. if we can be true to ourselves those walls are easier to dissolve. Claude was in search of-and that can only be rewarded, or ought to be in the end. I am glad her work has come to light. pgt

Once again, you featured one of my obscure faves. And, I don't need to tell you this, there is a really good BOOK out there by Shelley Rice entitled Inverted Odysseys: Claude Cahun, Maya Deren, Cindy Sherman, from an exhibition in 2000. The book has a full text of Cahun's "Heroines."

HOW THEY DECORATED

now available at Amazon

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
